New and Important Opinions OF Pulmo-
nary Experts-Can the Universal Con.
sumption BE Successfully Treated2
DIR. Borgeon, leading French doctor,
has new treatment for consumption
He gives an enema of carbolic acid and
sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter
gas carrying the former into every part OF
the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at enects
the cause remains undsturbed
What this cause is has been stated by per-
haps the highest pulmonary authority IN
the world, /. e., the Brompton Hospital Tor
Consumptives, in London, Eng.
This mslady every year carries on from
one-seven,h to one-ffth of the entire popu-
lation of England
DR.. Payne, NJ. D., NJ. K c. p, London, Is
authority for this statement
The same or greater proportion OF
deaths obtains in America
DIR. Payne also says that one-half the
total number of deaths from all other causes
have seeds of this disease in the system
which only require some irritant to develop
DR.. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption is
caused by deficient nutrition of the lungs,
by poor blood.
These authorities can not be disputed.
The medical world recognizes them. The
uric acid is the irritant in the blood that
causes the development of the seeds which
DR.. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which passes
through the lungs and heart, also goes
through the kidneys, and If they are IN the
| least derangel they can not rid the blood
of its killing poison. The thousand little
hair-lilke sewer tubes of the kidneys very
easily get blocked up and diseased; and
when they do, they corrupt instead OF pu-
rifying the blood. Kidney disease may ex-
| ist, and yet no pain occur in that organ,
because 1t is deficient in nerves OF sensa-
ton.
Dip your finger in acid every day and it
soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid
| poisoned blood through the lungs every
! second, and they soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investigation
showed that 50 per cent. Of the victims OF
| consumption were afflicted with deranged
! kidneys, which permitted the uric acid
poison to remain in the blood and irritate
the lungs. This uric acid is always fight
ing every vital organ, and if there be any
! Inherent weakness in the lungs 1t inevita-
bly, causes pneumonia, cough and consump-
ton.
The real cause of pulmonary troubles be-
ing so authoritatively shown to be faulty
even though unsuspecteI action of the kid
neys, explains why, in order to master the
dreaded consumption, one must rid the
blood of the uric acid icritant which in
flames and burns up the lung substance.
For this purpose there is nothing equal To
that great specific, Warmers safe cure
This remedy has now the favor of medical
men all over the world purely on its mer
its. We have no doubt that if the kidneys
are kept in natural action, consumption
and great many other diseases, caused
by uric acid, will not only be cured but
will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no albumer
appears in the water, but albumen is founC
in the water of more than half of those
who die of consumption
This, then, is the condition of things
that always precedes consumption: First
weakened kidneys; second, retained uric
acid, poisoning the blood; third, the de
velOpment of disease in the lungs by the
irritant acids passing through them. Ther
there is u little cough in the morning
soon thick, yellow matter is spit up, fol
lowed by loss of flesh and strength, with
dreadful night sweats; and when the pa
tent goes to his school physician for help
he is put on cod liver oil which his
stomach, weakened also by uric acid in the
pain present in the kidneys, the patien
does not think they are affected, but the
kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, ant
by-and-by the disease of the lungs has ad
vanced until pus is developed, then come
nemorrhages, and at last the CLASSY stare
which denotes that the end is near
A post-mortem examination of sucl
cases shows that the terrible uric acid hai
completely destroyed the substance of the
: lung.
II is impossible to cure lung disease whel
the blood is poisoned with uric acid.
